摘要

音樂與治療是兩個不同的領域，然而由於音樂對人類身心所具有的影響力量，人們將音樂應用於改善或治療身心狀況已有悠久的歷史，且更於近代發展成為專門的學術領域——「音樂治療」。本論文即以德國作曲家彼德．胡伯納為治療目的所創作出「醫學共振音樂」中的治療失眠音樂為研究對象，並以音樂分析為工具，欲探討該音樂造成治療失眠效果之原因。
本研究首先藉由比較的方式，以找出治療失眠音樂與非治失眠音樂的不同之處：將「治療失眠」系列的「基礎CD」——RRR106，分別與另外三個功能導向不同系列的基礎CD——「復甦生命力」系列的RRR101 (第三章)、「促進專注力及記憶力」系列的RRR128(第四章)，以及「激發創造力」系列的RRR935(第五章)進行比較，而歸納出RRR106的音樂特性，如：柔和連續而不顫抖的音色、緩慢而不穩定的行進速度、不明顯也不固定的節奏型態、簡單的和聲與不斷轉移的調性中心，以及旋律上的「主要音型」等等特性，然後再逐一探討這些特性與治療失眠效果的相關性，以及形成這些相關性的可能原因，並且檢視同屬於治療失眠系列基礎處方中的另外二張CD——RRR931及RRR933是否亦具有這些與治療失眠效果可能相關之特性(第六章)。
在前面比較的過程所找出RRR106具有的多項音樂特性中，經過逐項地分析探討後，發現該些特性可能經由「造成安定感」、「渙散注意力」及「傳達和諧訊息」等三種方式以達成其治療失眠的效果；而RRR931與RRR933在音樂特性上，皆部分地與RRR106之治療失眠相關特性相同。由於目前並無相關文獻針對醫學共振音樂的「治療失眠音樂」提出確切的臨床療效報告，本文係針對該音樂的治療失眠效果提出可能成因之探討，而非針對其療效程度本身的研究。

Music and therapy are two different fields. However, due to its effect on humans’ body and spirit, music has a long history of improving or healing physical and mental conditions of humans, leading to the recent mergence of a new academic area — Music Therapy. This thesis focuses on one form of therapeutical music — music for treating insomnia from “Medical Resonance Therapy Music” (MRT-Music) composed by a German composer Peter Hübner. Through the aid of music analysis, the reasons of its therapeutical effects will be discussed in the paper as well.
Firstly, this paper has tried to find out the particulars of music that can cure insomnia by comparing CD numbered RRR106, the “basis CD” of “Sleep Disorders” series, with “basis CDs” of other three different-orientation series of CDs, respectively: RRR101 in “Vital Energy” series (Chapter 3), RRR128 in “Concentration / Memory” series (Chapter 4), and RRR935 in “Creativity” series (Chapter 5). The paper concludes some music characteristics in RRR106, such as: mild, continuous tone color without trembling, slow and unsteady tempo, neither apparent and nor fixed rhythm style, simple harmony, continuously shifting tonality, and the “primary note set” in melody, etc. Then there were detailed discussions on how these music factors may affect the insomnia as well as what may contribute to curing insomnia. Another two CDs from the same “basic programme” of “Sleep Disorders” series, RRR931 and RRR933, were analyzed to see whether they have the same attributes for insomnia cure (Chapter 6).
Through the comparison and careful examination, RRR106 distinguishes itself as possessing several musical features that may improve insomnia by “strengthening sense of security”, “distracting” and “conveying harmonious messages”. This analysis shows that RRR931 and RRR933 respectively hold partial musical characteristics as RRR106 in related to insomnia cure. As of today, no clinical research has been published regarding the effects of MRT-Music on insomnia. So, instead of discovering the real curative effect, this paper mainly focuses on the possible reasons for why this therapy may help insomnia patients.
